Haha, it boils down to a few choices for me, including a few non movie series.
My immediate answer: Violent Night. It’s such a good, weird Christmas movie with Santa being a badass, an actual engaging story, tons of gore and tons of humor. You can’t go wrong with David Harbour either. In my opinion, it has a lot going for it that makes it worthy both in and out of seasonal viewing.

If we COULD choose non movies, just as added fluff to my post, I’d choose either Fallout or Impractical Jokers. A second choice for me would be The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s quick, simple, stylish and a fun watch.
Double feature:
Ed Wood
Plan 9 from Outerspace
I’ll be damned, nobody mentioned Lord of the Rings.
I came here to say LotR. Whoever doesn’t vibe with LotR doesn’t have a place in my house.
Love of Tolkien is sadly not universal. I married a heathen that hates Lord of the Rings. 😩
That’s like a mouse not liking cheese.
Lock the doors and show them the Extended edition, followed by The Hobbit extended edition.
It’s only 20 hours and 18 minutes.
My ex roommate made me watch the extended edition after I told him I never actually watched all the movies. I’m not mad at him. It was a weekend well spent.
Wow, it stars an English physicist as Helm Hammerhand! Bold choice!
Then we’ll probably get way past 30 hours in total for the extended editions.
For me, I could watch Muppet Treasure Island over and over. The perfect movie.
For a movie I need to play for others: A Goofy Movie.
Human Centipede
I think that’s a red flag, I don’t want to get stabbed…
Human Centipede is a tour-de-force
I think, “Holy shit, I’m gonna be the main course.”
Fifth Element
The largest indoor explosion ever recorded on camera, I believe.
Super green.
It has the multi pass to everyone’s heart.
Korben my man. I-I-I-I have no fire.
That’s what I was thinking
Lord of The Rings
deleted by creator
Any of Simon Pegg’s movies (the trilogy of sorts).
Was going to say Hot Fuzz. You can watch it multiple times and it is still funny.
Since no one has said it yet, original Ghostbusters.
I amar prestar aen.
The world is changed.
Han matho ne nen.
I feel it in the water.
Han mathon ned cae.
I feel it in the earth.
A han noston ned gwilith.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.
That would make for a long ass movie night
This one is more of a movie day. The best there is though!
Special extended editions or nothing.
It’s a shame I always miss that monologue because I use that time to run around locking all the exits and eating the keys.
Duck Soup, a comedy from about 100 years ago about a selfish clown who fails upward to political leader and ruins the country.
Evolution
Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers.
Get something so bad that everyone comes together to make fun of it, making the night more fun in general.
I pick a random movie because I’ll never satisfy everyone.
Minor stipulation, it would be from my personal collection of movies, which I know I like.
